That's close to zero (0.4%) means for USA one has to build city like Phoenix every year to accommodate that.
I couldn't disagree with this more, and I am quite disappointed that this has made the front page of HN. If you're any person of color (brown, black), you're not treated very well in Japan. I've had at least six friends go there over the last two decades to find this out. Actually, Japan is where dreams go to die. New grads join one company after graduating college and have to stay with it for decades. A few years ago, their medical education system was implicated in changing answers for high-scoring female students so they wouldn't attain a seat. Anecdotally, all of my wife's friends who have transferred to Google Japan have seen their careers stagnate, and they have had to return to Silicon Valley. Finally, because of the 'Lost Decade,' the country was in a recession from 1991 to 2010..while they might have xenophobia on the menu, they have more pressing issues to address to become an actual functioning and healthy democracy
The "fuel efficiency" of an EV translates more or less directly into the cost of a major component.

You can sacrifice range of course.
“The next-generation cores feature improved branch prediction, with wider decode and execution engines for the performance cores, and a deeper execution engine for the efficiency cores. And both types of cores also feature enhanced, next-generation ML accelerators.”
Personal anecdote: I was trying to get housing lined up for a job offer in Japan, but every place I liked, I head from the realtor "Oh, that place isn't accepting foreigners."

Love the country, but it's definitely a "We love you visiting, but please go home" vibe.

I don't agree. One part of coding tests is getting the right output, the other part is how they went about it - which is relevent even if they didn't solve the problem. You can tell a lot from the second part.

I'm not a huge fan of coding tests, and I have a lot of sympathy for those who refuse to do them, but it's a case of "It's not you, it's everyone else"
So, a new M4 chip, up to 10 cores and all kinds of other hotness...yet Apple is still going to treat the iPad with all its big boy computer parts as just a toy computer incapable of compiling code or even giving me a terminal window, let alone run macOS apps.

Our house is chocked full of Apple gear, but the idea of spending a cool $1000 on a neutered consumption device gets less appealing with each generation.
Apple was really losing me with the last generation of intel macbooks but these m class processors are so good they've got me locked in all over again

Why improving your search feature always feels difficult
For the record, I am more in favor of the government regulating Private Equity (in particular, the use of leveraged buyouts, LBOs): 1. more scrutiny of their own business practices, and 2. limitations on their ability to buy up companies from a community, plunder them, and then leave the community strip mined. I really don't think regulating the operations of veterinary hospitals is going to solve the problems brought up in this comment section.
Housemarque hadn't released any AAA games before launching Returnal on PS5, which is, in my opinion, still one of the best games on this platform. Smaller studios can innovate on gameplay and stories before creating a hit.

Another example is FromSoftware. They kept iterating on their games going from KingFields to Demon Souls, Dark Souls, etc...You can't have Elden Ring without all this earned experience.
> raising your income is the best thing you can do to improve your financial situation in the long run.

It's such a vacuous statement it's practically a tautology. And it's false: plenty of people who earn modest money over the course of their career end up wealthy. How? They learn to live within their means and budget accordingly.
They keep making iPads more powerful while keeping them on the Fisher-Price OS and then wonder why no one is buying them for real work.

Who in their right mind will spend $1300-$1600 on this rather than a MacBook Pro?
The metrics which determine if someone gets promoted. Those decisions are being made by some group, presumably with guidelines. If the process for getting promoted is "this group does whatever they feel like" that company is a disaster and you need to get out.

Thus, there are rules, and they are written down. If they're not visible to normal employees, they guess the rules based on who they see get promoted (cargo cult) while the committee uses the true metrics.

It's not like becoming a manager is a secret cult where you're dropped in and you suddenly have carte blanche to do anything. At established companies there are rules and procedures, and while you will likely have access to more information than individual contributors, you won't just be promoting whoever you feel like without having to go through others.
Firing an entire sports team after a loss. Although in Tango's case, not even a loss, just not a big enough victory.
No, this is relatively new. This is the result of decades of the quest to "dismantle the regulatory state".

The book Flying Blind is a thorough account of how Boeing transformed from a respectable engineering shop to a business-school-jock-run FAA revolving door. Unabated capitalism sort of doesn't work when your planes are losing pieces mid-air and Airbus is eating your dinner.

> M4 makes the new iPad Pro an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence

Yeah, well, I'm an enthusiastic M3 user, and I'm sure the new AI capabilities are nice, but hyperbole like this is just asking for snark like "my RTX4090 would like a word".

Other than that: looking forward to when/how this chipset will be available in Macbooks!
The highlight of the event was a stylus?
2x better performance per watt is not interesting? Wow, what a time to be alive.
Seeing an M series chip launch first in an iPad must be result of some mad supply chain and manufacturing related hangovers from COVID.

If the iPad had better software and could be considered a first class productivity machine then it would be less surprising but the one thing no one says about the iPads is “I wish this chip were faster”
Apache Guacamole is FLOSS actually, RustDesk as well, while not much known they do offer such service already, Guacamole as a web-desktop, RustDesk as a classic desktop sharing app.

But honestly we do not need this paradigm, we do need file sharing and syncing in a classic real desktop paradigm. Remote desktops are a kind of new dumb terminals and mainframe model, useful for people that can't really work remotely.

Just as a personal experiment I've tried a different distributed enterprise work model:

- employees receive a new desktop at home, not a laptop, empty storage media AND a usb stick with a self-installing ciphered live distro, they get the key from other media, there are various options like "after you get the iron write down the serial on it and we reply back with the key" or direct paper mail and so on;

- they mount their work desktop in their own work desk, plug the USB and first boot. The live image auto-install and offer a recovery desktop environment with SSH (reverse proxy) and remote desktop (RustDesk for instance) so in case of trouble they can receive support even at this stage;

- they boot their newly installed system and it start syncing relevant data form company servers;

- they works locally as much as possible syncing back data to the company as frequent as possible, of course certain dataset can't be locale because of the size etc, but most users do not work on such large/high-bogomips stuff, the rest is typically some WebApp. Local systems are FDE and demand a smart-card and it's pin to log in;

- a spare machine can be delivered NBD and similarly deployed, the broken one being FDE can be sent back issueless, data sync avoid the employee running away with valuable stuff, oh, yes, nothing can stop him/her to copy company data and do nasty things with them but... It's not really different in an office. If you can't trust your employee and still need to give them complete usable data there is no IT protection, you can act only at human level.

Well, the above is a simple dumb paradigm but the purpose is just showing that:

- we need to have IT match company structures/human life

- we need to be resilient not creating more SPOF

- it can be done with what we already have, it's more a matter of habit then tech
No ipad mini for years is sad. Why not even bit of upgrade to ipad mini. I don't understand.
> - licensing ensures only a minimum level of quality… people with licenses still do interviews, often just as grueling

Agreed, I never asserted against these two points. The point of licensure is to make the first round, which is fairly routine at this point, more equitable and less susceptible to probabilistic effects. It also frees labor from administering this exam round to every candidate.
The Bible. Even if you don't care for it's spiritual implications, there is a rich history that is used by archaeologists, and many face-value lessons of cause and effect, and even recommendations on how to manage a business and employees. The beautiful non-spiritual message is that humans don't change, but we can still learn from histories mistakes.
Key values in the press release:

- Up to 1.5x the CPU speed of iPad Pro's previous M2 chip

- Octane gets up to 4x the speed compared to M2

- At comparable performance, M4 consumes half the power of M2

- High-performance AI engine, that claims 60x the speed of Apple's first engine (A11 Bionic)
Potentially > 2x greater battery life for the same amount of compute!

That is pretty crazy.

Or am I missing something?

Are they really?
In other words, rental yields are low in those places. Probably because the prices are expected to increase, so the owners benefit from capital gains rather than rent. Definitely should be a temporary phenomenon though. Prices are falling in a lot of high-priced urban locations, eg. London.

Isn’t there a ToS prohibition about “custom coding” in iOS? Like, the only way you can ever use that hardware directly is for developers who go through Apple Developer Program, which last time I heard was bitter lemon? Tell me if I’m wrong.

Not entirely accurate as the company was in Hengelo, Overijssel but "Overborn" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Do you know why that is? The Zero 2 W (and Pi 3) support the 64-bit verison of Raspberry Pi OS. Don't they also run Wayland? Not enough RAM?

EDIT: I should have taken a minute to check the Pi OS release notes:

2x the performance per watt is a great improvement, though.

If you use a French press for cold brew, be aware that the harder you press, the more bitter it will come out.

I use a $5 nut milk bag instead, it lets me brew way more at once; I do 1/4 kilo grounds with 2 liters of water. It also has the benefit of reducing cafestol, which makes it healthier, according to some.
Stunned but not surprised how badly Swift's built-in async channels package performs compared to Go. Consistently more than an order of magnitude worse.
Is it just me or is there not a single performance chart here? Their previous CPU announcements have all had perf-per-watt charts, and that's conspicuously missing here. If this is an improvement over previous gens, wouldn't they want to show that off?
Not a rethoric question:

Has anyone here compared western VPN services to Russian and Chinese available VPN?

Ok, I think I see what you're getting at:

You're assuming that the percentage increase in conversions after you extended or removed the trial timeout period across the board corresponds to users who previously would have been kicked out by the trial expiry before they could see the value in converting.

My comment was referring to the period you mentioned where you were offering people manual extensions, and you noted that you saw more conversions among that group than among users who didn't extend their trials.

Here's the thing though. Google builds the actually important products very well. Ads and Search. Particularly the former. The ad serving infrastructure at Google is huge and stable and makes insane money. Everything else is a sideshow.

The real quality work being done at Google is by SREs -- not SWEs -- in Ads / Search & Core. The infrastructure they build and maintain is amazing and hard to explain to people outside. I say this as a former SWE there.
But being able to program is table stakes to be an effective developer. There better be a lot more to the interview if you are hoping to find rounded developers with proven experience at the level you are hiring for.
>I can't remember a single AA game that was great

I'm always skeptical of "I can't remember ____" as an assessment of any given historical record because, well, the average person just doesn't remember anything. Which is all well and good, you have no obligation to be ready for a pop-quiz, but snapshot moment of free-association is just not a reliable stand in for the actual record.

I actually couldn't think of any AA titles off the top of my head either, but after Googling and GPT'ing a bit I came up with: Hellblade, Plague Tale, Hades, Outer Wilds, Control, Metro, Outer Worlds, Shadow Warrior 2, etc. plus the numerous others listed by other commenters.

My point though is that it's fine not to remember, but that should never be our acid test for what does or doesn't exist in the historical record.
In the developed world (including but not exclusively US and EU), the problem is people flocking to big cities which grow way past their housing capabilities while small towns and villages become depopulated with mostly old people living there.

I seen this in Romania (where I live), it's the same in France, Germany, etc. Whole houses with terrain and garden in the countryside cost a fraction of an apartment in a big city and yet they become derelict because noone buys them.

The work from home "revolution" only touches a very thin layer of people, most people with jobs still need to show up physically every day. And it's only in big cities that jobs get concentrated.

I think overall it's a problem going back at least a century, the move from rural economy where 90-95% of the people were working in agriculture, to urban economy. In the rural days, people were spread relatively uniformly. In fact cities were a small fraction of the whole population so no wonder houses were aplenty.

Therefore as long as the trend of jobs concentrating in the big cities won't stop or revert, the raise in house prices is inevitable.

And also one less CPU performance core for the lower storage models.
To me, cutting wattage in half is not interesting, but doubling performance is interesting. So performance per watt is actually a pretty useless metric since it doesn't differentiate between the two.

of course efficiency matters for a battery-powered device, but I still tend to lean towards raw power over all else. Others may choose differently, which is why other metrics exist I guess.
Anecdotally, I've not had any issues whilst (I think) fitting into the American PoC category.

It's not perfect, but I think it's _very_ hard to argue that it's worse than the average European country.

I don't think Americans realize how xenophobic most of Europe is.

So, Apple is doubling down on messy, confusing product lines with no clear distinction or direction other than "must ship something every year"
I get that "indie" is often viewed as the 3rd option alongside AAA and AA but I don't think that's the right definition.

For me AAA and AA is about scope of the project. The 3rd option is "small", not "indie".

Hades (I don't know Hi-Fi Rush) is by all means a small game, regardless of how many developers worked on it. Same for Minecraft, or many of the games that other commentors posted.

You want a good measure? Check the price. AAA are $60, AA are around $40 and small games are below.

PS: out of topic but I just saw that Hades 2 is out in early access.

Say your rent is $1,500/month. That adds up to $18,000 per year. That means you'll need at least $450,000 in the bank, assuming a 4% APY, to earn that $18,000 in interest.

So, you'd need a pretty large amount of capital to start with to make this work.
I'm disappointed that their test didn't include a comparison to traditional drip coffee made using the same beans, then chilled to match the temperature of the cold brew.

I haven't looked into ultrasonic cavitation in years, but since it can produce enough heat and light to make some people wonder if it was a form of nuclear fusion back in the early 2000s, I feel like maybe it's affecting the flavour of the coffee at least as much as using hot water would.
But you have to shell out $10k for a commercial ultrasonic welder from Branson, etc. Just the horn they show in the paper probably cost $6k to make.

I wouldn't be too dismissive.

One strong point for productivity/getting stuff done fast in real world: good REPL. It's not just Rails of course, but worth noting when comparing interpreted languages to compiled ones.

Conversely, I really like using my iPad Pro as a daily driver (eg. Slides, light blogging, Notion, reading, Zoom, Slack, etc) as most of my core apps and usecases are either PWAs or Apps already.

And I think this is the target demographic of the iPad - either creative types (eg. designers or musicians) or executives (eg. Consultants, PMs, etc) who are not code driven but still need a workbook style environment. From a security standpoint it is best for these users to be locked down (Least Privilege is a good security model to follow for non-technical users).

P.S. I do have my own ancient Macbook that I installed Ubuntu on for my own light hacking, but most of my personal tinkering dev is now on Cloud GPU instances so all I need is a dumb terminal for SSH.
